Another Taskmananger question

[JohnRChick]

If I have a program that is designed to close all programs of a certain name, is there a way I can prevent it from closing itself if it has that same name. Like for example with my program you can run it as many times as you want. Each copy of the program has code to close all processes that are its name. The thing is that when I do this, sometimes it ends up closing the program that is calling it and then they all don't get closed. Is there a way I can close all of the other programs then close the one thats calling it?

You can try something like comparing the main window handle of the process, see if it is equal to the handle you are working in (I am assuming this code would only work if you are running it from the main application window... not a child window of the application...

Dim px() As Process = Process.GetProcesses
        For Each proc As Process In px
            If Not proc.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32 = Me.Handle.ToInt32 Then
                proc.CloseMainWindow()
            Else
                MessageBox.Show("The app is me!")
            End If
        Next
